Hal Linden did several musicals on Broadway and in 1971 won a Tony Award for the musical The Rothschilds. His Billy Crocker in Anything Goes (1962 revival) is a recording worth listening to. Thank you for posting this video.
Had no idea he sang! What a history of talent! Was watching him on Law & Order/Criminal Intent….decided to look him up!! Knew about Barney Miller but never watched.
Kids, this is called talent. No autotune. No over-produced synthetic control board-laden engineering. Just good music by people who love music.
Mr Linden..... simply thank you..
you are a true entertainer!!

I love Hal Linden! What a showman and absolute talent! I'll never forget him in Barney Miller :-)
Love the way he got the instrumentation to gradually build up from piano and bass to the full band.
Crystal clear voice! Sort of shocking to hear this after watching Barney Miller episodes over and over for years, decades really. Dude got talent!
That was fantastic! Hal you look great! What an entertainer!
This is just wonderful.

Saw him as Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha in Minneapolis in about 1988. He was fantastic.
Excellent!
Incredible!

Watched Hal Linden perform at Six Flags in Texas maybe about 1977.
Really good performance.
